Reasons To
Visit Uganda

  • Safari Wildlife

    Many people assume Uganda doesn't have much large game and the only reason to visit is to see gorillas. This, however, would be a mistake as the various parks are home to many large mammal species, including lion, leopard, hyena jackal, buffalo and elephant. There are also numerous antelope and bird species.

    Safari Wildlife

  • Chimpanzees

    It is home to the greatest variety and highest concentration of primates in East Africa. There are 13 primate species found within the forest including chimpanzees, red-tailed monkey, L'Hoest's monkey, blue monkey, grey-cheeked mangabey, red colobus and black-and-white colobus.

  • Gorillas

    Making your way through the bamboo forests and into the dense montane forest you will trek for between two and five hours to find your allocated group of mountain gorillas. The sometimes strenuous walk to find the gorillas is always made up for by this truly unique experience!

  • Safari

    Something a bit different which you can enjoy at the Semliki Wildlife Reserve is a night game-drive. Setting off after dinner, you may catch a glimpse of a leopard in a tree; Serval cats, civets, Ugandan kob, mongoose, the strange triple-winged nightjars and nocturnal bush hogs are regularly spotted.

  • Village Life

    Few countries in Africa provide so many opportunities to view such colourful and vibrant village life. Driving through the lush rural countryside numerous villages are scattered along terraced hillsides. The interaction with the local people in these remote locations often generates some of the most memorable travel experiences.

Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge

Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge has a beautiful position in the southern part of Bwindi National Park.

There are ten stone cottages, each with stunning views of the Virunga Volcanoes. Inside, a spacious bedroom and lounge are linked by a fireplace, ensuring the rooms are kept warm and cosy in the cool evenings. Each room has an en suite bathroom.

The main lodge facilities include a library and lounge area, lush botanical garden and sheltered verandah where you can relax with a cup of tea enjoying the views. Food is cooked using fresh local produce and is plentiful and tasty.

A major advantage with this lodge is that guests can walk from their cottage to the trailhead where they will start and end their gorilla tracking day. The group of gorillas tracked is the Nkuringo Group which can be challenging to visit, and the walk may take four hours or more.

Finally, Clouds is very involved with the local Nkuringo community and a development fund ensures that the local population directly benefits from each guest’s stay at the lodge.
